The US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, is visiting four countries in Africa. He started in Cape Verde and said that it is a very stable country in a region that has a lot of problems. He thinks it is a good example for other countries.
Mr Blinken will also travel to Ivory Coast, Nigeria, and Angola.
In 2022, US President Joe Biden wanted to show how much he cares about Africa by inviting African leaders to a summit in the US.
He said he would go to Africa in 2023 but he never went.
Mr Blinken visited the continent last March. He has been dealing with the conflict in the Middle East.
President Biden said in Cape Verde that he supports Africa, according to the AFP news agency.
“We are all connected in our futures and our success, and African people are now playing a bigger role in leading and influencing global discussions,” he said.
